Crystal Structures of a Series of 1,1-Spiro-bis(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene)-Based Derivatives

Abstract  

The structures of four spirobisnaphthalenes based monomers 1, 2, 3a and 3b are reported. Each compound represents a methoxylated precursor which after deprotection led to the formation of a monomer successfully used for the synthesis of Polymers of intrinsic microporosity. The spiro-centre represents the site of contortion that, since its rigidity, leads to inefficient packing in the solid state inducing microporosity in the final polymer.

Structures of Bis(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)alkyl Copper(II) Dichlorides: An Unusual Cocrystallization

Abstract  Two structures containing pseudo-tetrahedral Cu(II)N₂Cl₂ coordination complexes are reported. The first molecular structure (A) of the compound, 1,1′bis(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)propane copper(II) dichloride (triEtBBIM)Cu(II)Cl₂, 1, is reported. The complex crystallized in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 8.616(3) ?, b = 9.302(3) ?, c = 14.314(4) ?, α = 85.613(6)°, β = 85.170(6)°, γ = 66.117(6)° and V = 1044.1(5) ?³ with Z = 2. The second structure (B) contains 1 and (3,3′bis(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pentane) copper(II) dichloride (tetEtBBIM)Cu(II)Cl₂, 2, both of which, cocrystallize in an equal molar ratio with a nitromethane solvate molecule. The complex crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 18.876(4) ?, b = 14.975(3) ?, c = 18.344(4) ?, β = 116.75(3)°, and V = 4630.3(16) ?³ with Z = 4. The cocrystallization of such discrete complexes has been coined a chemical Janus. Graphical Abstract  The title complexes contain pseudo-tetrahedral Cu(II)N₂Cl₂ coordination. One of the structures is the result of an unusual cocrystallization, in which two different discrete Cu(II) molecules cocrystallize in an equimolar ratio with a nitromethane solvate molecule.      

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of α-Phenyl- and α-Trifluoromethyl-α-(2-pyridyl-N-oxide)ethanols and α-Phenyl-α-(2-pyridyl-N-oxide)ethylene

Abstract  

The X-ray structures of two α-substituted α-(2-pyridyl-N-oxide)ethanols, the α-phenyl- (3a) and α-trifluoromethyl- (3b) derivatives, were determined. On dehydration of 3a, compound 4a was obtained. This study brought a clear proof that the α-(2-pyridyl-N-oxide)ethanols are formed following oxidation with peroxides of their corresponding pyridines. A different molecular packing was observed for the α-trifluoromethyl derivative due to an additional hydrogen bonding. Compound 3a crystallized in the monoclinic space group P 2₁/n with unit cell parameters a = 5.7416(1) ?, b = 14.3841(4) ?, c = 13.2821(3) ?, β = 94.918(2)°, V = 1092.90(4) ?³, Z = 4, D = 1.308 Mg/m³. Compound 3b crystallized in the triclinic space group P −1 with unit cell parameters a = 6.1209(2) ?, b = 8.1938(4) ?, c = 9.4675(4) ?, α = 73.363(3)°, β = 73.166(3)°, γ = 71.659(3)°, V = 421.32(3) ?³, Z = 2, D = 1.633 Mg/m³. Compound 4a crystallized in the monoclinic space group P 2₁/n with unit cell parameters a = 9.3579(3) ?, b = 12.7340(3) ?, c = 9.8579(3) ?, β = 117.3249(15)°, V = 1043.63(5) ?³, Z = 4, D = 1.255 Mg/m³.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Dioxomolybdenum(VI) Complexes with ONS-Donor Ligands

Abstract  

Three dioxomolybdenum complexes namely dioxo(5-chlorosalicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazonato) dimethylsulfoxide molybdenum(VI) (C1), dioxo(5-chlorosalicylaldehyde 2-ethylthiosemicarbazonato) dimethylsulfoxide molybdenum(VI) (C2) and dioxo(5-chlorosalicylaldehyde N-phenylthiosemicarbazonato) dimethylsulfoxide molybdenum(VI) (C3) were prepared. The compounds all crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 7.3184(3) ?, b = 7.5035(3) ?, c = 14.9713(6) ?, α = 85.005(2)°, β = 85.616(2)°, γ = 66.987(2)° for C1, a = 8.2339(1) ?, b = 10.1739(1) ?, c = 10.4017(1) ?, α = 78.486(1)°, β = 89.312(1)°, γ = 81.730(1)° for C2, a = 7.0591(1) ?, b = 9.5603(1) ?, c = 14.5762(2) ?, α = 76.280(1)°, β = 81.351(1)°, γ = 81.985(1)° for C3. In general, the overall geometry of these complexes can be regarded as a distorted octahedron with the tridentate thiosemicarbazonato ligands (L²⁻) bonded to the MoO₂ ²⁺ core, with the imine nitrogen, phenoxyl oxygen, sulfur atom and one of the terminal oxygen atoms of the dioxomolybdenum occupying the equatorial position. The sixth coordination site is occupied by the dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solvent molecules. The adjacent molecules of C1 are linked by N–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming polymeric chains that run parallel to the bc plane. On the other hand, C2 is a discrete molecule while the molecules of C3 associate via weak N–H···O hydrogen bonding interaction to form a polymeric chain that runs along the a-axis.

Phenylamido and Diphenylamido Complexes of Chromium(II)

Abstract  Addition LiNHPh to a [(NacNac)Cr(μ-I)]₂ [NacNac = 2,4 pentane-N-N′-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl) ketiminato] in THF yields a dimeric anilido complex, 1, that crystallizes in P2₁/n with unit cell parameters a = 13.390(2) ?, b = 26.298(5) ?, c = 21.326(4) ?, β = 93.905(4)°, V = 7492(2) ?³ and Z = 4. The same reaction in the presence of aniline yields a monomeric anilido complex, 2, with a coordinated aniline molecule. Complex 2 crystallizes in P2 ₁ /c with unit cell parameters a = 28.530(5) ?, b = 10.8116(18) ?, c = 26.492(5) ?, β = 115.685(3)°, V = 7364(2) ?³ and Z = 8. Addition of aniline to isolated 1 yields 2. Addition of LiNPh₂ to [(NacNac)Cr(μ-I)]₂ in THF yields a monomeric complex that crystallizes in P2₁/n with the unit cell parameters a = 11.152(6) ?, b = 23.820(12) ?, c = 17.915(9) ?, β = 106.223(9)°, V = 4569(4) ?³ and Z = 4. All complexes have been spectroscopically and structurally characterized. Graphical Abstract  Addition of LiNHPh or LiNPh₂ to [(NacNac)Cr(μ-I)]₂ yields a dimeric or a monomeric complex whereas addition of LiNHPh in the presence of aniline yields the monomeric anilido complex.      

A Facile Synthesis and Crystallographic Analysis of Seven Trityl Phosphorus Compounds and Two Nickel(II) Phosphine Side-Products

Abstract  The syntheses and X-ray analyses of triphenylmethyl (trityl=Tr) phosphorus compounds are reported and the structural similarities, differences and ³¹P chemical shifts compared. A series of seven trityl-substituted phosphorus-containing compounds have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Ph₃CPPh₂, 1, a bulky P(III) compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group , a = 7.5624(6) ?, b = 9.5470(8) ?, c = 16.9722(14) ?, α = 83.4720(10)°, β = 80.541(2)°, γ = 68.1580(10)°, the borane complex of 1, 2, Ph₃CPPh₂(BH₃) crystallizes as monoclinic colorless crystals, P2₁/c, a = 10.0972(12) ?, b = 9.6955(12) ?, c = 25.197(3) ?, β = 90.258(2)°. The analogous methyl substituted, 3, Ph₃CPMe₂(BH₃) is monoclinic, C₂/c, a = 15.628(3) ?, b = 12.770(3) ?, c = 18.406(4) ?, β = 103.968(3)°. Compounds 4–7 are trityl substituted P(V) compounds: Ph₃CP(Ph)(O)(OH), 4, crystallizes in the triclinic space group , a = 8.9847(18) ?, b = 9.7443(19) ?, c = 12.786(3) ?, α = 72.045(3)°, β = 72.031(3)°, γ = 78.769(3)°. Esterification of 4 affords TrCP(O)(Ph)OBn 5, space group, P2₁/c, a = 7.9196(5) ?, b = 31.701(2) ?, c = 19.8062(13) ?, β = 99.7750(10)°.

Treatment of the trityl H-phosphinic acid, Ph₃CPO₂H_2, with elemental selenium yields yellow crystals of 7, [Ph₃CP(O)(OH)Se]_2, P2₁/c, a = 9.0603(4) ?, b = 22.3652(11) ?, c = 16.9134(7) ?, β = 107.035(2)°.
